Snagged

Perfect for fans of fairy-tale reinventions, cosplay, and pop-culture nerdom, this officially licensed Lady Lovely Locks story proves that, sometimes, you have to become the hero of your own story.
Sixteen-year-old Leigh Carroll has been through it—when she lost her mom as a baby, she and her dad had to move to a small apartment in Philadelphia where they are scraping by. Leigh has an afterschool job at a hardware store and her dad works nights, so they never see each other. Despite everything, Leigh has been able to maintain her signature snark and has found an escape through something she’d never expected…cosplay.
 
It’s in this pursuit where Leigh’s life takes a turn for the supernatural—when she decides to build a costume based on a dated book series called Lady Lovely Locks. It’s about a princess of the same name who, on the surface, wears frumpy dresses, lives in a magical castle, rides a horse named “Silky Mane,” and has rainbow hair infested with long-tailed rodents called “Pixietails.”
 
Leigh finds a way to re-interpret this character for the 2020s and has everything she needs, except the rainbow-streaked hair. At a comic convention, she meets a mysterious old woman selling what appears to be an authentic, vintage Lady Lovely Locks wig. When Leigh gets home and puts it on, she finds herself magically transported to Lovely Locks kingdom. And, somehow, she now IS Lady Lovely Locks. But it isn't until she finds a painting of her mom hanging in the walls of a castle that she realizes more than magic has brought her here...it's fate.
